Arsenal are ready to table an offer of £9m to bring highly rated Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai to the Emirates Stadium.
After impressing for RB Salzburg last season, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder has attracted the attention of some of Europe's top clubs.
The Gunners are long time admirers of the teenager and are hopeful they can tempt the Austrian champions to sell as Unai Emery looks to build a squad capable of breaking into the top four in the coming season.
With a Champions League campaign high on RB Salzburg's agenda, it's thought they would be reluctant to sell before the January transfer window.
